parking? or storage?

Around where I live, street parking is very scarce. It's not odd that I'll have to park (literally) half a mile away from my apt.

 

So, you can imagine my chagrin when I see one of these portable storage boxes taking up a valuable spot. If they're there for a day or two, fine. But the last one I saw (and there have been many) was there for over a month.

 

They should at least get ticketed, if not towed away. If I left my car there for a month and didn't move it, I'm sure I'd be ticketed/towed. The same rules should apply.
